Solo transcriptions can be an interesting document of a person's style, but are also so personal and idiosyncratic that one can get frustrated in trying to play them without mistakes. 20 Melodic Jazz Studies for Trumpet contains a series of studies to extend the playing and reading techniques, to illustrate harmonic and melodic shapes and possibilities, bolster endurance, and most of all---train the ear to hear moving and often intricate melodic lines in a musical sense. These pieces are structured in a way that challenges the registers of the instrument, but also allows the student to learn how to pace him/herself. The shapes of the line will naturally show the practitioner where and how he/she can rest while still playing. The studies could serve as tutti passage or solis for brass and/or saxophones.

Over coming the boundaries between 'serious' and entertaining music was what mattered to the musician Eduard Putz (1911-2000). His compositions therefore include stylistic features of jazz and pop music. Many of his works were written for children and young instrumentalists to offer them a break from the monotony of classical sonatinas and studies. 'Blue Waltz' is such a treat - very easy to play, it carefully helps the player to open a listening ear for jazz sounds. The arrangement for accompanied melodic instrument is also suitable for beginner's lessons and the first ensemble playing.
